SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMMUNICATION BETWEEN A DATA-ACQUISITION CIRCUIT AND A DATA-PROCESSING CIRCUIT

A communication system coupled to a data-acquisition circuit and to a data-processing circuit is provided, including at least one shift register, an addressing circuit and a multiplexer. The shift register includes a serial input for inputting and storing data in series, a serial output for outputting data in series, and parallel outputs for outputting data stored in the shift register in parallel. The addressing circuit is coupled to the shift register in order to identify the positions of stored data, and the multiplexer is coupled to the parallel outputs of the shift register in order to output the stored data to the data-processing circuit in series. Methods for communication between a data-acquisition circuit and a data-processing circuit are also provided.
